SPOOL-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 751,891, dated February 9, 1904.

Application filed February 21, 1903, Serial No. 144,515. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom it may concern/ Be it known that I, FRANK E. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing near Marathon, in the county of Buena Vista and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spool-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in spool-holders; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

The figure of the drawing represents aperspective View of my invention.

In carrying out the construction of my invention I take a strip l, of suitable material of a suilicient length and thickness, in which I form in the central portion thereof a V- shaped longitudinal groove or channel 2, by means of which I am enabled to form on the lower wall of the channel a. ledge or platform 3, the upper or top edge of the strip being chamfered to form a corresponding ledge or platform 4. To these platforms I secure spindles 5, on which are adapted to be rotatably mounted spools of cotton, silk, thread, or the like. When the spools are mounted on the spindles, the lower portions or surfaces thereof rest on the platforms, so as to give them a basis for rotation. At the opposite end edges of the strip I provide angle-irons 5, having thimble-supports 6 thereon, said supports being constructed of soft material and formed of the same configuration as a thimble. To the bottom edge of the strip I secure hooks 7, which depend therefrom, and arrange them at suitable distances apart on the strip, the opposite end ones of which serve to support scissors, and the interposed or middle one is designed to serve in supporting a pin or needle cushion thereon.

I provide openings 8 in the groove or channel 2 of the strip. By this means I am enabled to secure the strip to any suitable place to hold the same in position.

Having described my invention, what I claim is c A spool-holder comprising a base-strip of suitable material having a central longitudinal V-shaped channel therein, provided with a ledge or platform on the lower wall thereof, the upper edge of the strip being chamfered to form a corresponding ledge or platform, spindles secured to said platforms, hooks secured to and depending from the lower edge of the strip, and thimble-holders secured to the opposite end edges 'of said strip, substantially as specied.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRANK E. ANDERSON.
